Today was a great day. I sat under a tree on a blankie next to a sleeping Spencer and just watched bluejays and cardinals and orioles zip past me and bounce around in the trees. I watched a little kid get pulled around by a giant dog and a group of little kids gather roundContinue reading “lots of little nothings”

My calling in the church right now is as the ward choir president. This means that I get to go to all the choir rehearsals and occassionally, I’ll send out a reminder email about the upcoming practices. Our choir director is an angel. She is brilliant. And so we sound brilliant. We sang in churchContinue reading “Choir and other random events”

Today is a day. A wonderful day. It started off with a conversation with a friend on the phone. Then I put on an old tee shirt and a linen skirt, hiked it up and laid out on the deck while reading the plays with Queen Margaret’s character. After falling asleep in the sun, IContinue reading

Worst. movie. ever. I went to see Made of Honor tonight because I happen to be 1) a girl and 2) fond of My Best Friend’s Wedding. Now, I grant you we walked in 10 minutes late, but I felt like vomiting throughout the entire movie. I won’t give away any of the plot–it’s hardContinue reading “Made of Poo”

I’m really sick and tired of having a positive attitude. Generally, life is pretty good–but I’m really sick of a lot of things and I feel the need to explode a little. Here are some of the things I’m most tired of: I’m really tired of men giving credit to skinny girls for being skinny.Continue reading “Polly McPositive”

I get to play Queen Margaret in Queen Margaret. This isn’t that big of a deal, since it’s only a staged reading and we only have 1 performance–but it’s still a title character. And it’s still a GREAT part. I’m so excited to sink my teeth into it!!! I wish I could figure out whereContinue reading “My desires!”

I went to see Ingrid Michaelson in concert last Friday night. Sigh. It was too wonderful for words. My favorite song is listed below. The woman is divine. I love her. I love life now that I’ve discovered her music. And you will too! In other news–I’m directing 7th graders in A Midsummer Night’s Dream,Continue reading “Ingrid Michaelson”

I miss dancing. I was never the best in the class. I remember dying inside as I watched my pregnant modern dance teacher with her outrageously perfect body move effortlessly. But despite my own body image crapola–I love to dance. I love to move. I love feeling my muscles contract and lengthen and I loveContinue reading “dancing days”

I have a hurt foot. This sucks because I have been trying to either walk or run every day–and today’s walk was a pathetic excuse for walking. I hobbled about 2 miles than gave up. I’m not an invalid–I think I just broke a teensy weensy bone in my foot and it’s making walking aContinue reading “I hurt my foot”
